    Jobs after graduating - (or lack of!)

    NurseGirl525 replied to stickynoodles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You shouldn't have a problem as long as you have a good resume and can interview well. Many people do not have these essential skills these days. I have interviewed and trained people and I have...

    Basic A & P

    NurseGirl525 replied to Medic 2005's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have never heard of Basic A&P. I'm guessing it is a very entry level course maybe like a high school class. Here A&P I is 101, so you can't get much lower unless it's a remedial class and...

    NurseGirl525 replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    Actually the job market is pretty good out here. I know Cincinnati Childrens does have lots of openings. I was encouraged to go there if I wanted to get a job at a children's hospital after...

    All pre-nursing students!!

    NurseGirl525 replied to Shonqueen1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school you have to have certain prereqs done before applying and the rest must be done before getting into the program. I applied at the end of March, they then had to wait on my Psych 101...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    Are you already a mental health nurse? It says you have 5 years of experience. So are you a LPN looking to bridge over to a RN? In nursing school you cannot put 2 semesters in one. They go in an...

    Blacklisted by your Nursing School?

    NurseGirl525 replied to PolishGirlRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This is because we are only hearing half of a one-sided story. I have noticed quite a lot of back tracking going on here by the OP. There absolutely had to be derogatory and inflammatory comments if...

    PharmD to NP

    NurseGirl525 replied to thefinestwhoever's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    But also from what I am understanding, that doing a direct entry MSN is not always wise. I have just heard that employers don't like to hire those that come from direct entry MSN programs for a...

    NurseGirl525 replied to IslandGirl#1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The prereqs will generally take about 2 semesters to complete. I did all of the prereqs and coreqs to get them out of the way. I had to take an accuplacer test to see where I was at in English and...

    To be or not to be an LPN?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Rice7's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, here you have to graduate from a PN program to challenge the PN test. LPN programs generally are anywhere from 15-18 mos long and an RN program is around 3 years for an ADN due to prereqs. My...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Ariana214's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also taking it and have already taken A&P I and II. You have to remember this is for lay person so there will be a lot of basic anatomy in the first few weeks before they get into the nitty...

    To be or not to be an LPN?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Rice7's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is not true in every state. Most states require you to graduate from a LPN program to take the NCLEX-PN. There are no blocks for a LPN. You either go to LPN school or RN school and the classes...

    NurseGirl525 replied to MCFielder's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would have never been able to do with an 8 month old. I waited until my son was older and in school already. I went to school while he is in school. Do you have a good support system in place?...

    Fast Track Option for ADN program

    NurseGirl525 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    To answer your question, no. Once you are in a nursing program it is 4 semesters. You have to probably devote at least 2 semesters to the prereqs. 12-15 credits is not a fast track. That is full...

    NurseGirl525 replied to futureRN67's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I could never work full time and do school. From what I am reading though, you do not have any children which may work in your favor. I am a single mom and I could not work and do schooling. Just...

    College Algebra and Statistics

    NurseGirl525 replied to futureRN_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are they both required for your program? We only have to take one or the other. I spoke with my math professor earlier this semester about it and from what he told me statistics was more story...
